The Tipping Point

Today was a super, busy, sunny day! Yeah! I was uber productive at work, I actually cleaned the kitched before I left the house while still making it to work on time, and had a fan-figgin-tastic workout at noon!

Un-beknown to us ladies Laurissa wasn't available and Craig was filling in for her. The difference is that Craig can push you just a little bit harder than Laurissa can (Laurissa is a kinder, gentler trainer), and sometime folks can find this intimidating. For me its a love/hate thing. I love the way I feel afterward - I know I've worked hard and got a good 'bang-for-my-buck', sometimes I hate the fact that it won't be one of those workouts you can sail your way through.

Anyway the workout was mostly kettlebells (I used a 30 lb, but likely should have taken the 35 lb) and looked like this:
  • Double handed swings
  • Alternating swings
  • Double handed swings
  • Squats (with the kettlebell)
  • Squats with an overhead press
  • Lunges (with the kettlebell)
  • Lunges with an overhead press (a bit of a tricky move at first)
  • 10 double handed swings, 10 burpees - FIVE TIMES
  • Step ups (on the plyo box) 10 left, 10 right - THREE TIMES
  • cool down using the foam rollers - which I LOVE! 


These are my trainers - Craig and Laurissa. They basically ARE Core Essentials (there are other wonderful trainers too!) but these two are the core of Core! HA!

Ok, gotta go be soccer mom - supper's almost done. Don't ask what it is, cause its not what I would call a healthy supper - its a fast supper!

Later : )
